U.S. Senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla and U.S. Representatives John Garamendi and Julia Brownley have announced more than $22 million in federal funding from the Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) for the Port of Hueneme in Ventura County, California and for the Port of Richmond in Contra Costa County, California.

The funding the lawmakers secured is set to improve efficiency and safety and help support the much-needed upgrades to infrastructure at the ports, the officials said. The grant program is administered by the Maritime Administration.
